Walkers news: Oct. 1 -- St. Louis 7, Quad City 2

Record: 94-64, 1st, 10.5 GA Cedar Rapids -- NL South clinched
Zach Hunsicker took a shutout into the ninith inning, and St. Louis routed Quad City 7-2 at Busch Stadium (1997).
Hunsicker (13-7) shook off a recent stretch of rough starts with eight scoreless innings.
He allowed five hits while striking out seven and not issuing a walk.
Hunsicker exited after hitting the Thunder's Ben Nelson to open the top of the ninth.
QC did manage to scrape out a pair of runs against reliever Nick Ruffalo, Myles Austin driving them both in with a double.
But Robby Albarran came on to retire the game's final two batters.
The River Walkers used the power of the long ball to pile up most of their runs.
Jean Carmona hit a three-run homer off QC starting pitcher Jose Castaneda to put St. Louis in front.
Jose Segura and Jordan Groshans hit solo homers, also off Castaneda in the third to make it 5-0.
A two-run homer in the fifth from Steve Rossi off Pascal Marcovicci capped the scoring for the Walkers.
